Yes! I can’t believe! It’s that time of the year again! Smells like Christmas, one of my favorite times in the year. I am excited about all the new videos that came out on YouTube, and the best parts is that many of then include the lyrics which makes it perfect for a sing along. Some of the songs could be a little bit fast, so I recommend that you change the speed of the video on YouTube. You have to make sure you open the video on YouTube, once you are there, click on the settings icon, then click on speed and change from “normal” to “0.5”. You are now with a perfect speed and the song still sounds great!

Here are some of my favorite songs! If you have one that you would like me to add to the list, please share it with me in the comments.

I can’t believe Christmas is around the corner! Many of us are teaching Christmas songs to our students, and what a great way to teach vocabulary in context.

Here is a group of fun songs I found on YouTube and that I think are perfect for Spanish learners. Some of the songs are more complex, and some have a great amount of repetition. You can choose the song according to the amount of time you have left to teach it to your students. This year I didn’t really plan in advance so I decided to go with same old “Noche de Paz” and I am surprised that my students still love singing this song!

Anyways, here are all the villancicos I have chosen for you!

1. Mi Burrito Sabanero, a version by Colombian singer Juanes. This is a traditional song known mostly in Latin America. Click here to listen to another fun version.

2. Cascabel by TinyTunes

3. ¡Feliz Navidad a Todos! by Little Baby Bum

4. Muñeco de Nieve by Los Niños Cantores de Navidad from Colombia

5. Tutaina Tuturuma is a traditional Christmas song from Latin America.

¡Feliz Navidad!Carolina
